Shared SSL

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

I search all over the site for problems with Shared SSL but none relates to mine. This is my problem:

 

I have the url which the hosting ISP provides for my site and for a test I only made changes to configure.php in /includes and NOT in the admin one. If I go to my sites url http://www.surfdvd.co.za and logon it logs me on successfully and displays the secure ssl and the shared ssl url in the browser, problem is when you scroll over any products or catagories it displays my sites actual url (non ssl path), also it doesnt say "your logged in". See below my configure.php, does anyone have some thoughts here?

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.surfdvd.co.za/'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mars.secureguards.com/~surfdvd/'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN','www.surfdvd.co.za');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '/mars.secureguards.com/~surfdvd');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

thanks,

Werner

I can't seem to find a secure page on your site. Did you temporarily turn off the SSL?

Hi,

 

Yes i disabled it for time being, i tried various things cant seem to get it working. Let me ttry the above again cause I noticed that you need to alter the admin/includes/configure.php config as well else it wouldnt work anyway.

I tried that and it still doesn work get no page available when i try to login: This is my admin/includes/configure.php config

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.surfdvd.co.za'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.surfdvd.co.za');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://mars.secureguards.com/~surfdvd');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false'); // secure webserver for catalog module

 

When logging in i receive,

 

https://mars.secureguards.com/~surfdvd/login.php/process and page timeout

 

cheers,

Werner

The SSL on your catalog and on your admin are separate. I'd suggest taking one at a time. If you're trying to secure your admin section, then you need to post more of your configure.php file.

[Guest]

Ok, lets start from beginning - kust want to do catalog side first:

 

This is the configure.php setup:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.surfdvd.co.za'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mars.secureguards.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN','www.surfdvd.co.za');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mars.secureguards.com/~surfdvd');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~surfdvd/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

And with this config if i login it redirects to ssl site using this url and then timesout with this error:

 

https://mars.secureguards.com/~surfdvd/logi.../action/process

 

The page cannot be found

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

This is not a domain:

 

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mars.secureguards.com/~surfdvd');

 

The /~surfdvd needs to be in the path variable.

 

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

 

 

Try to get the paths correct first. When I go to the login page, I get redirected to cookie usage (possibly because my browser is rejecting your cookie (because your "domain" has an invalid character: "/").

Can I make a suggestion: I would suggest you purchase a separate SSL certificate. My reasoning is most shared ssl reroute your pages titles through there internal coding losing ther Search Engine Optimization factor of google etc listing your site page by product name. There are very competitive certificates out there. I just like that when my product comes up I see the the product name listed I also use the Header Tag contribution. and The SEO contribution and the Google sitemap contribution. But Like I said shared ssl most hosts reroute you thru there coding server because its there certificate and then you lose the header tag in the url benefits.

 

This is just my opinion.

 

Have a great day

why you ever want to index secure pages with spiders? Secure pages suppose to convey sensitive customer info. Theoretically every secure page of your store should redirect the spider to the cookies usage page. So using a shared ssl should not play a role with seo.
